Crafty Detour

The Crafty Musings of Heather, Ida, and Sarah

Hi Heather

August11

My knitting seems to be out to get me. I swear my projects get together and discuss how they can derail me. Between them and the conspiratorial cats, I have no chance.

Oh, I want to let you and everyone else know there’s a new contest on The Evolving Sock Knitter. Webs and Skacel have joined forces and created a sock kit. Proceeds will go to fighting ovarian cancer. I bought 2 kits so I could knit one and give the other away on the blog. The sock is gorgeous, and what a wonderful cause.

Heather, Ida, and Sarah welcome you to Crafty Detour. What is Crafty Detour?

It’s kind of like a podcast, but without audio. A place where Knit-a-While, Sairy Knits, and Digitalnabi come together to provide a three part perspective where other blogs usually only provide one. It’s truly a detour from our usual blogging which we will continue to do on our own sites. CraftyDetour is a joint venture that will enable collaborative projects in the future.

Heather is the creative director for The Alpaca Yarn Company. She also designs knitwear, teaches, and blogs here: digitalnabi.com. She’s web programmer by day, a designer by night and a knitter always.

Ida is a knitter, foodie, freelance editor and author, and the publisher of Knitting Purls. She is apparently addicted to blogging. You can follow her on Knit-a-While, The Thinking Knitter, and The Evolving Sock Knitter.

Sarah is a researcher/analyst for a stock indexing company – a job that keeps her on her toes! She has been knitting since starting graduate school for Applied Statistics in 2005.  Sarah knits, spins, and dyes yarn and roving for her etsy shop: Stitches ‘n Rows. Her personal blog is Sairy Knits where she tries to blog about finished objects, test knitting, her fat cat Haley, food, and whatever else is on her mind when she can remember.
